GAS-BURNER.

Application filed April 8, 191 5.

'1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, I'rHAMiAR M. JUSTICE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to burnersfor raw producer-gas and one of its objects is to distribute the air more evenly around the gas nozzle than has heretofore been done.

Another object is to afford ample opportunity to clean out parts of the burner which are liable to become choked'with soot.

Another object is to facilitate mixture of the air and gas as they leave their respective nozzles.

In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation looking into the nozzles, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts in both views.

The body portion of the burner consists of a box 10 having a collar 11 with a flange 12 adapted to set down on and be secured to a conduit through which gas is fed to a number of burners. The valve 13 is merely a heavy block adapted to be slid over the collar 11 by means of a rod 14 extending through a notch in the lower edge of the cleanout door 15. This door is kept closed by a bar 16 which drops into books 17 projecting from the box 10 at each side of the door.

An aperture 18 in the top of the box opposite the collar 11 is adapted to admit an iron rod or some other suitable implement with which soot may be cleaned out of the collar. This may be done when the burner is in operation if desired.

A ball 19 dropped in the funnel shaped top of the aperture makes an effective, convenient and simple cover.

A gas nozzle 20 leads from the box and is surrounded by an air nozzle 21, the latter having an air inlet 22 to which air is conducted, preferably under pressure, by a pipe 23.

A partition 2 1 is placed in the inlet perpendicular to the axis of the gas nozzle. This partition extends down on both sides of the gas nozzle, gradually attaining a horizontal position, thus dividing the space between the two nozzles intotwo substantially equal parts. Without this partition the ve- Specification of Letters Patent.

locity of the air would carry most of it to the lower part of the air nozzle and cause an unequal distribution of air around the gas nozzle. Furthermore, there would be a tendency to set up eddies in the nozzle which would afiect the direction of the air after leaving the nozzle. All of this is prevented by the partition. It divides the air about equally at the inlet, and compels half of it to remain above the center of the nozzle. The presence of the partition tends to prevent the eddies referred to. The air nozzle extends some distance beyond the gas nozzle and beyond the end of the partition, which gives the air an opportunity to expand inward and begin mixing with the gas before it leaves the nozzle.

It is to be understood that minor changes may be made in the structure without departing from the substance or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is as follows:

1. In a gas burner, a gas nozzle, an air nozzle outside thereof, an inlet for air at one side of said air nozzle, and a partition dividing said inlet on a line perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle, said partition continuing into and dividing the space between the nozzles into two parts on a line substantially perpendicular to the axis of the inlet.

2. In a gas burner, a gas nozzle, an air nozzle outside thereof, an inlet admitting air to the outer nozzle, and a partition which divides the air at the inlet and delivers it at the end of the gas nozzle in two sections divided on a line perpendicular to the axis of the inlet.

3. In a gas burner, a gas nozzle, an air nozzle outside thereof, the latter extending a substantial distance beyond the end of the former, an inlet admitting air to the outer nozzle, and a partition which divides the inlet on a line perpendicular to the axis of the nozzles, said partition continuing into and dividing the space between the nozzles into two parts on a line substantially perpendicular to the axis of the inlet.

4. A gas burner comprising a box having a collar adapted to connect to a supply conduit, a nozzle receiving gas from the box, and an aperture in the top of the box opposite the inlet collar, adapted to admit an implement whereby soot may be cleaned out of the collar, and means for closing said aperture.

5. In a gas burner, a gas nozzle, an air nozzle outside thereof, an inlet to admitv air to the outer nozzle; and means for confining part of said'air to half ofthe space between 5 the nozzles and the remainder of the air to the other half of said space.

,6. In a gas burner, a gas nozzle, an air tween said parts.
